Hi,

I'm Todd, I lived mostly in Manhattan from 1996-1999. I worked on 
communications for the 1997 NYC Sierra Club Film Festival and was quite 
involved in community garden defense in 1997 and 1998. My dogs are from 
the East Village, and I live in Prague now. My other NYC Streets project 
is "Dogs on Board!".

As I told Arcady (or all of the administrators, so forgive me if the 
following is redundant....)... Well, actually, Arcady, could you post 
what I wrote as introduction?

Then I will add more later.  I am actually working on a proposal right 
now for this: 
<http://www.skoda.cz/en/skoda-holding/news/introducing-a-new-type-of-tram-the-100-low-floor-vehicle-skoda-forcity-aid2454.html> 
to have a multi-function space.

Prague Public Transport is a partner in my project 
<http://greenideafactory.blogspot.com/2008/03/bikes-on-board-14.html>. 
More on that if you want more, otherwise I will just talk about NYC... 
promise.
